It is hard to understand since Griffith was a liberal Obozobot in the Hollyweird tradition. It's simple to understand why "Zero Dark Thirty" was overlooked and why the Oscar voters felt the need to slap down Ben Afleck. But why Griffith was ignored will forever be a mystery.

However, if we are talking about "snubbed" television stars from last night's "pat on the back" ceremony; they also forgot Larry Hagman, and Phyllis Diller.
It was explained as to why though in the post show.
Anyone's carrer that was %95 television are usually honored at the Emmy's and have been for quite some time.
I have to agree with you "Abe" about Zero Dark Thirty, it was a glorified recruitment video, and not a very good one at that.

Abe Froman
A never-seen character in John Hughes' Ferris Bueller's Day Off, not known for keeping appointments. Mr. Froman has a noon reservation for a party of three at Chicago's Chez Quis restaurant, which Ferris and friends steal. The snooty (snotty) maitre'd disbelieves that young Ferris is the erstwhile Sausage King of Chicago, but is successfully deceived through a clever telephone ploy.

Who Ferris Bueller says he is when trying to get a table in a fancy and expensive restaurant. Abe Froman is supposedly the "Sausage King of Chicago". Also good as a false name when you need one.
5. Abe Froman
A sex act; simultaneous DVDA (double vaginal, double anal) and oral penetration of a woman, while she performs two handjobs.
April did the Abe Froman with the volleyball team and their coach.
